   Based on your example I have done another test with Strawberry Perl
5.16.2.1 Portable Edition for x64 architectures and PAR::Packer (with
a little help (1)).

   These are my files:

   --- strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-x64-pepfia-2.2.x-1.pl---
use File::Which;
use LWP;
use Net::IP;
use UNIVERSAL::require;
use Text::Template;
use XML::TreePP;
use Socket::GetAddrInfo;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
use Win32::Job;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
use Win32::Job;
use Parse::EDID;
use Compress::Zlib;
use HTTP::Daemon;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
use LWP::Protocol::https;
use English;
use Getopt::Long;
use Memoize;
use Pod::Usage;

use lib '.';
use lib 'lib';
my $file = shift;
require $file;
   --- strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-x64-pepfia-2.2.x-1.pl---

   And this is the command to get the Par file (ZIP).

   Strawberry\5.16.2.1\x64>pp -p -o
strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-x64-pepfia-2.2.x-1.zip -A include2par
strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-x64-pepfia-2.2.x-1.pl

   The new package has a size of 10,4MB. It needs more Perl packages
but could be a good start to build the new package
strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-all-pepfia-2.2.x-1.tar.xz (2) with the half
of the size of its predecessor.

   The installers will be more small too.

   What's your opinion Gonéri?

   Best regards.
